What is a Unitroid? It is one who subscribes to the philosophies of the Unitary State. It is one who serves such a state slavishly and thoughtlessly. It is one who invariably consumed by such a state in one form or another-viz. his freedom, his soul, or even his very person.
The Unitroids are on the march and are consuming everything in their path.
They are consuming Western Civilization. All Western Goverments seem to be moving towards larger and larger Unitary States. Hence, the European Union has consumed the European States. In America, the Federal Government has consumed the States, and is now attempting to gain even more control. One way or another, the Unitroids will gain more power---either by turning the economic basis of the nation into a conglomeration of semi-private enterprise entities known as "corporations", or into a vast leftist superstate full of economic dependents.
What to do about Unitroids? In America, the Constitution must be preserved. It is being attacked by the Unitroids on the left and it isn't being defended much by the Unitroids on the right. A Unitroid cannot be counted on to defend the Constitution. Hence, those who do not wish to be Unitroids had better detach themselves from it, or they will be consumed as well.
How do you know if you are a Unitroid? A Unitroid is overly concerned about money. A Unitroid favors and unthinkingly serves the money-centered economy. Thus, just about everyone has been infected with the Unitroid disease. You are mostly unaware of its existence. But take heart, here is your warning. You have to clean yourself from the infection, or it will take you over. Chances are, you are a Unitroid, but maybe a reluctant one. Take that reluctance as a motivator and use it in order to free yourself!
Update:
This concept probably needs a lot more discussion. For instance, some may point out that any economic system is going to be money-centered, so how do you get away from that?
I'd have to agree with that statement. You can't get away from the necessity for a medium of exchange, which is what money is. I think where I'm going wrong is to confuse topics. Economics doesn't really mention morality. However, at least some mention should be made in terms of the soundness of its money.
Sound money men are often associated with gold bugs. I'm willing to assert that sound money doesn't require gold, but should be based upon some objective measurement. Imagine trying to sell any good when the unit of measurement is subject to change. Such is the case with money today. It's not sound money, but sound money went into disrepute because of its linkage to gold.
Keeping with that thought, I wondered if you could set a price for goods in relation to each other in the same way currencies are priced against each other. In other words a dual sliding scale with pairs of commodities priced against each other. For instance, gold could be paired with silver. Their relative values would shift daily according to whatever forces are acting upon them. The same thing could repeated with several different commodities so as to mimic the way the national currencies are traded. An index could defined that would set a price according to what it was on a certain date. The index could be a basket of commodities that are priced in terms of the reserve currency, which is the US Dollar. Let's set the date as of Dec 31st of this year. Let's say the price of gold was $1000 and the price of silver was $20. That would mean that 50 ounces of silver could buy one ounce of gold, and vice versa. In a year's time, that ratio could change according to market forces. In order to determine how any currency held up, just compare that index number to whatever the current prices are in US dollars.
You might say that they do this already. But this system only works if you do the transactions in the commodities themselves as if they were currencies. As far as I know, this isn't being done now.
In other words, you wouldn't have to convert between dollars and gold--- you could just transact in gold by itself. The same could be true for any commodity.
I am wondering if that would make currencies more sound and more honest. For I don't believe that currencies are honest and neither are the markets, but that is a different subject.
